Since the USS Walker originated from another globe battle to defy the terrifying Grik and diabolical Dominion, Matt Reddy and his staff have provided their all to safeguard the oppressed Lemurians. But using the Walker in desperate need of maintenance just like the Grik’s First General is normally poised to strike, Reddy is eager.

With more opponents than previously arrayed against them, the crew from the Walker needs new allies. That means combing the lethal wilds of Madagascar to find the Lemurians’ fabled ancestors, as well as the enigmatic dwellers east of the Pass of Fire. But what Reddy’s crew unearths could be more than they can handle-discoveries so shattering that they could tilt the total amount of the war in either direction.

But Reddy’s biggest adversary is from his past: a madman named Kurokawa whose single-minded mission of revenge will shake the Alliance to its primary and improve the stakes to the most personal and terrifying amounts Reddy has ever faced.
